beach day - aug 18 2026

just got back from the beach. actually whole foods but before that the beach. great day. forgot to mention on the pod that overslept has its own instagram now so please follow it. i am posting there every day. you can listen here. see ya -chris

i think im going to the beach today. i dont go to the beach enough. its close. its like 20 minutes away. i could be looking at the pacific ocean. a lot of people that i know in la, they live further. they never wanna go. they act like the beach is stupid or something. like its times square in new york, which i also love. how can you not love times square? its ridiculous. the beach, is nature. its beautiful. its the ocean. so my point is that im going to the beach, which isnt really a point and i probably will end up not going. but im saying it now, then maybe ill end up there. and then its like i went on a vacation. i like to go places where theres people on vacation. i like to live places where theres souvenir shops, where i see double-decker tour buses go by. thats where i like to be. i wanna be where people have spent money and taken time off of work to come see my home. i know they didnt come specifically to see my home, but if youre on a tour bus and you pass my apartment building, youve seen my home as a part of your vacation. sometimes the tour buses will pass me when im running in hollywood, and people will look out and say, hey, is that a celebrity? and then theyre like, well, no. but i could be for all they know. fame is very fragmented. just because you dont recognize me on the tour bus doesnt mean im not famous. i am in hollywood, which is where show business lives. people try to say the industrys left los angeles. theres still the studios, the agents, theyre around looking for talent. i could be discovered. steven spielberg lives here. he could see me running along in hollywood and say, hey, thats the guy. i need him. thats the new indiana jones. and now people are getting mad at me because theres a new indiana jones movie and they cast me in it. what am i supposed to do, turn down the role? im sorry. harrison ford couldnt do it forever. and do you want no more indiana jones or do you want me as indiana jones? this is the reason why im not gonna be the next indiana jones. i dont want it, but it would still be cool for steven spielberg to pull his car over because he sees me running in hollywood and say, hey, youre the next indiana jones. i see it. and i would just say, steven, i appreciate it. of course, id be perfect indiana jones. i should be the one to take the whip. i could carry on the proud tradition, but i dont want the hassle from the fans. and im just a humble guy. you know im humble because im telling you about it. and yeah, id be perfect for the role. but how about lets talk et 2? et is back and hes super pissed and so is elliot. i have to kill them both. theyre actually the villains of et 2 and i become a hero. that spins off into a franchise. dont any of you try to pitch that to Steven spielberg. this is my idea. i just came up with that and i think its gonna make me a billionaire. okay, im gonna get to the news, so i can go to the beach. im probably not gonna go to the beach but i might.

disney sues fcc over challenge to broadcast licenses, claiming retaliation over jimmy kimmel

jimmy kimmel, one of the great talk shows. because i was on it nine years ago and i wont stop talking about it because the other talk show ive been on is no longer on tv. the other show was corden. i was never on colbert, which is also off the air. i realized after i said the other show i was on was off the air. makes it sound like i was on colbert and i dont want anybody to come at me for stolen valor. corden was a great show. hes a nice guy. its weird that people didnt like him. maybe cause hes british. maybe its because carpool karaoke was kinda corny. it was fun. it didnt really make much sense since he wasnt really driving. the car was on the back of a trailer, so its just celebrities sitting in a car thats not really driving. people loved it, then people hated that people loved it and then they hated james corden. and maybe theres other reasons. i dont know. i cant believe im so self absorbed. i got caught up talking about james corden because i was on the show once a few years ago when abc is having their first amendment rights violated. disney is a big company. they got a lot of money, so thats good, and theyre not just saying, hey, maybe we could settle. what could we do to make the president not mad at us? because thats what wed like to do, make sure the president of the united states doesnt have his feelings hurt. hes busy starting wars and shilling crypto. he shouldnt have to worry about jokes on late night television. and i dont think disney is some great protector of democracy, but theyre at least smart enough to see that groveling just gets you more groveling. maybe they can buy off some supreme court justices and get a win.

student kills schoolmate and himself in livestreamed philippine school attack, official says

murder is the worst. if we could stop murdering people, if everybody just stopped doing this bullshit, cut it out. if there was no more murder, that would be, i think, great for morale around the world. people would breathe a little bit easier. there was just no more murder. its not gonna happen, but it would make people a lot more relaxed. gun sales would plummet. they would not be happy about it, the gun companies, because guns would be just for hunting, and how many people are doing that anymore? im not even really anti-hunting. i wouldnt do it, but i dont get mad at people who hunt, unless its that big game bullshit, like shooting tigers or whatever. and even then, i mean, i dont like it, but i dont know anybody who does it. i dont actually get mad at anybody. its just if i see a picture online of somebody holding up a dead lion, i think, oh, this guys a loser. thats the extent of that. but im not saying no more hunting. im only saying no more people murdering people. it would be very good. lets give it a shot. lets say, hey, hey, hey, everybody. come on. for real, dont murder anybody. set aside its illegal and its wrong. just dont do it. come on. cut it out. wed have to stop any wars that are going on too, and the whatever genocides happening around the world. those would all have to stop. theres a lot of murdering happening. in addition to this kid who did the old murder-suicide and live-streamed it because it doesnt count if it doesnt go up on social media. live-stream murder should never happen. if you put something copyrighted up on youtube, right away, within the second, it knows if its copyrighted. and any video technology should be able to know, oh, theres a murder. yeah. nope. cant broadcast the murder. its against the terms of service. you hit i agree not to broadcast murder. here you are. your account is banned. youre not getting on twitch again, and dont try an alt account. were tracking your ip address.

a deadly brain-swelling illness spread by mosquitoes is on the rise in the us

its west nile virus. its back. in the late 90s, it was going around new york, and some old people died of it. so then giuliani had helicopters going all across the city just bombarding everybody with insecticide. probably took some years off my life because i was walking one day and the helicopters were flying overhead. they announced ahead of time but i didnt know. stores were closed for like an hour while they did this. there was no mosquitoes for years. for like at least like ten, fifteen years after that, no mosquitoes in new york city, and it was great. but theyve come back, and now theyre spreading west nile again. late 90s, theyre back. the 90s are back. the 2000s are back. i think the 2010s might even be back, and also 2023 is also back right now. retro just keeps speeding up and becoming bigger and bigger. every decade and year is back except for the past two years. that sucks. dont even try to come out with some 2024 bullshit. you will be ostracized. one last story, and then im gonna go. watch out for west nile.

14 charged in cocaine trafficking ring at two penn state fraternities, ag says pledges packed drugs

this is a great story. finally, fraternities make sense to me. why would somebody join a fraternity? well, were selling cocaine. that makes sense. you want a brotherhood there. you want some sort of bond, and the pledges have to earn their way in. youre just gonna let somebody into the cocaine business? no. you gotta pack the cocaine. thats a lot better than some of those weird hazing rituals they have with the, you know, soggy cookie or something like that. no, thats a waste of time. this is a business and a networking opportunity where you make lifelong friends. and later on, you leave the fraternity. youre not gonna sell coke forever. you go out into the business world. people know you know business because you were a part of one back at the fraternity. your fraternity brothers, theyre gonna help you out because you know they used to sell cocaine. i was not in a frat in college. very anti frat in college but i did sell some cocaine. not a lot. truth is, one time i took some stuff from the staten island ferry to the upper west side to an apartment building, and i got compensated. so a little stolen valor there, me trying to act like i was a drug dealer. i was not. it was just an opportunity that came across my path and i took it. it worked out fine for everybody
